[SOLVED] An Appimage file does not start "permission denied"

m3nhir · 2024-02-29 15:19:26

A program in AppImage format that I have been using for some time now no longer works. Launching it from the terminal tells me "permission denied" ( execution permissions are ok.).

$ ./cryptomator-1.12.3-x86_64.AppImage
bash: ./cryptomator-1.12.3-x86_64.AppImage: Permission denied

The file '/tmp/appimage.strace'contains the string:

 38555 execve("./cryptomator-1.12.3-x86_64.AppImage", ["./cryptomator-1.12.3-x86_64.AppI"...], 0x7ffce024dc60 /* 61 vars */) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
38555 +++ exited with 1 +++

It doesn't work with sudo either, although I've always run it as a normal user.
I use KDE as my DE. Can it be a bug or a recent security setting? How do I fix it? Thanks for the help.

Did you remove the executable bit by accident?

No. the execution permissions are correct. And the first thing I checked when I read the result from terminal "permission denied". I even tried deleting the related configuration that was created in my home and restarting the program as if it was the first time I was using it, but the problem persists. I get the same result even if I run the command as sudo or root.

Is it on a filesystem mounted noexec?

permissions are correct

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

stat .
stat ./cryptomator-1.12.3-x86_64.AppImage
file ./cryptomator-1.12.3-x86_64.AppImage

No. The file is in my home and until a few days before it always worked. It also gives me the same problem on another distro but still with KDE. I would not want it to be a new setting or a bug as a result of an update. Another file though, again AppImage runs correctly. I also tried using an earlier version but the result does not change.

The thing is your strace shows that you're dying before executing any application code, post the outputs seth requested. This can also happen if an "autoupdater" of the appimage auto-updates incorrectly.

Today, however, after an update, the application is working again. Those posted are today's outputs after the update. I did not change anything from previous days in the configurations

According to the timestamp this file was created this morning, ~1h after my last post - so it's pot. not the compromised file.

Please mark the thread as solved and in case the problem re-emerges, post the relevant file info and in case this becomes a frequent issue, preserve a compromised file as investigation target.
Thanks.

Yes, I had deleted and re-downloaded the file, in the past few days I had also done it several times to make sure it was not corrupt, and I did it again today. I don't think the error could be due to the file since it was working in the previous days, but as a precaution when I noticed the malfunction I had rewritten the file and deleted all its local settings present in the home. Thanks for the help.
